HEALING BY HOMEOPATHY: PULSATILLA, A POLYCHREST

2015-40 Healing by Homeopathy: Pulsatilla, a Polychrest

Pulsatilla

The
homeopathic medicine Pulsatilla is made from the windflower. It grows in clumps
on sandy well ­drained soil in sunny meadows, pastures and fields. It is soft
and beautiful with pendulous bell­-shaped flowers, purple petals and a gold
heart.

Dr Samuel Hahnemann first used the term polychrest in an essay about the
medicine Nux vomica. By this he meant a medicine that had a great many uses.
Pulsatilla was one of his polychrests and it remains one of the most useful
medicines. Pulsatilla is predominantly a female remedy.

It is
classically thought to suit blonde, blue-­eyed females of a mild, shy and
tearful disposition. Pulsatilla is effective for a range of menstrual and menopausal problems, which are
characterized by depression and tearfulness with a need for comfort and
sympathy.

Digestive
complaints such as indigestion, gastroenteritis, nausea and vomiting, caused by
eating rich, fatty foods are cured by Pulsatilla.
